Time Travel and Love

Chapter 488 The Future of a Concubine

For more than eight hundred years, she had seen her father pursuing only two things: cultivation and watching her cultivate.

My father always kept saying, 'Love is useless', 'My son is very talented. He can become a god after overcoming the tribulation. He should practice hard', 'As long as my son can ascend to heaven, I will have no regrets as a father'.

So, when he learned that Mo Liujin was a stubborn snake, his father's first reaction was to kill him. He wanted to remove any stumbling block that would hinder her ascension. But the stubborn snake had made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, so his father couldn't easily touch him.

However, her actions during that time when she returned to the mountain after losing her memory would probably have made her father angry and distressed. Otherwise, why would he have persuaded the master to let her go down the mountain?

"Speaking of which, my nephew from my mother's family does have a suitable candidate. Although she is a concubine's daughter and of a lower birth, she is also very beautiful and can be a concubine."

Chu Qingmeng was stunned. It wasn't just her father and mother who could decide whether a concubine's daughter could become a concubine. Could it be that any elder in the family could do the same?!

Before Chu Qingmeng could react to what she had said, Madam Shen continued, "Your son has been practicing Taoism for many years, and he's probably been ascetic for a long time. If he gets married first, I'm afraid their relationship won't be happy. Why not take a concubine first so that he can experience the feeling before talking about getting married? He won't be so resistant."

"Oh, if it were that easy it would be fine! I have put a sensible maid in his room since he came back, but that child is so stubborn! She refuses to leave anyone in the room and insists on sleeping alone!" Old Madam Ling sighed endlessly.

Chu Qingmeng almost choked himself to death. The three elders were discussing this matter behind a screen, but the screen was not soundproof!

"Are you okay?" Mu Lingxue saw her coughing repeatedly and hurriedly patted her back.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Qingmeng took Chunhe's handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Sister-in-law, I'll go change my clothes."

Lin Yue waved her to go, and then continued to talk with the wives of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo.

Chu Qingmeng left the flower hall and did not go to the toilet. Instead, he found a quiet corridor and sat for a while.

"Miss, do you think it's too noisy?" Chunhe took the thick cushion from Feiying and spread it on the porch. "It's still cold outside after all. Miss, please calm down for a while and then go back."

Chu Qingmeng nodded, silently took out a cigarette and lit it, secretly thanking herself for being a human being and not having her soul transmigrated. Otherwise, she would have died in the backyard long ago. She wouldn't have survived more than two episodes of this family drama...

"Mother!"

The cigarette in her hand was snatched away by someone. Chu Qingmeng looked up and saw Mo Jiangche looking at her with an unexpected expression, still holding her cigarette in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Chu Qingmeng was a little confused. He didn't know what was wrong with him and reached out to take back his cigarette.

Mo Jiangche raised his arm, his face serious. "Mother! You knew this stuff was poisonous! And you still wanted to use it?! How much do you have left? Take it out!"

"..." He still remembered what Mu Lingxue said back then. It had been over half a year. It was that tone... Chu Qingmeng rubbed his temples. "You bastard, how dare you talk to me like that?! I'm your elder!"

"Mother! Father is not with you, so naturally your son has to take care of you."

Chu Qingmeng was so angry that she laughed. He was almost wearing the saying "Obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death" on his face! Forget it! He had been in this environment since he was a child! She couldn't change his mindset!

"Che'er, can you promise me one thing?" Chu Qingmeng stopped trying to get her cigarette back, since she couldn't reach it anyway. She sat back down in the corridor. "The concubines and maids in your courtyard are pregnant. If you have concubines in the future, I don't want you to give them away as gifts or concubines. Even if you find an ordinary woman, as long as she can be your legal wife, it's fine."

Mo Jiangche was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he threw away his cigarette and squatted in front of Chu Qingmeng, "Mother, are you unhappy because your son married Xu Lianyi?"

Chu Qingmeng shook her head. "No, I just feel that women's lives are already difficult, and that those of concubines have it even harder. And yet, they have to be given away as gifts by those close to them. I really can't bear it."

Mo Jiangche couldn't quite understand Chu Qingmeng's thinking. After all, in his opinion, it was common for sisters to be favored, and a concubine's daughter was no different from a slave. It was perfectly normal to use her as a gift to win over colleagues. But even if he didn't understand, he could still sense Chu Qingmeng's reluctance. "Okay, I promise mother that I'll tell my eldest brother."

"Well, that's the best." Chu Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then should mother take out all these things?" Chu Qingmeng didn't expect that Mo Jiangche had not forgotten about this.

"No...no more." Chu Qingmeng said he didn't want to give anything.

"Mother! This thing is harmful to you! If it weren't harmful, your son wouldn't say a word."

Chu Qingmeng was sometimes intimidated by Mo Jiangche. It was because when he got serious, he was just like Mo Liujin, that irresistible, oppressive aura that made her a little intimidated. But Jiang Qing was the better choice. He had always been exactly like Mo Liujin's youthful, gentle and gentle self. Jiang Che acted like a child most of the time in front of her, but when he got serious, his serious, stern expression was just like Mo Liujin's.
